It has been funny watching all the cowboy fans on social media crying about how unfair this is when they were the same people cheering on Goodell for suspending Brady
Just remember nobody is safe anymore. The league is just making shit up as they go

The Bucs cut their kicker who they put a kings ransom for and who claims him? Da Bears. Of course.

Watched Cutler some. Only really one bad throw that I saw accuracy-wise where he shorted a ball. Couldn't tell if he went for the right receivers because the pre-season production is so crappy. He really only did one series. Had one deepish ball that was good.

Speaking of INTs, I see Glendon of Da Bears is doing his best to help fans forget about Cutler.

Anquan Boldin retires. I will miss that magnificent man.
Still remember almost shitting my pants when the Niners got him for a 6th.

I was a big fan of Boldin. Not like the rest of these divas

Fans roast the Bills after a 2-week-old tweet about Anquan Boldin and Sammy Watkins backfires | For The Win
Larry Fitzgerald thought Boldin died when he took a hit that broke his jaw. Fitz ran over and checked up on him. Quan was bleeding but eventually came to and said "why you crying for?"
Kurt Warner almost retired after witnessing that hit too.
I hope Garcon works out as a #1 for us but our offense looks inept

Confirmed today on the NFL network that Julian Edelman has a tear in his ACL and will likely be out for the season.
New England's worst fears have been realized. Julian Edelman is done for the season.
An MRI on Saturday revealed that Edelman indeed suffered an ACL tear in his right knee during Friday's preseason win over the Lions, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The Patriots confirmed their Super Bowl hero will miss the 2017 season.
The MMQB's Albert Breer first reported the news.
"Great competitor, works hard, tough, does all the things that you ask him to do," coach Bill Belichick said about Edelman on a conference call Saturday, via Ben Volin of the Boston Globe. "I feel badly for him of course."
Edelman went down on a non-contact play as he was scampering through the secondary on his third catch of the opening drive, and then limped off the field. He was later carted to the locker room and did not return.
The 32-year-old receiver has been Brady's most reliable target for years. Edelman has earned more than nine targets per game over the last four seasons and has averaged more than 11 yards per catch the past five years. He is coming off a career-high 1,106-yard 2016 season. Edelman signed a two-year, $11 million contract with $7 million guaranteed before this offseason.
As far as injuries to New England's offense go, this one hurts, but doesn't derail the train as much as a sidelined Rob Gronkowski or -- heavens forbid -- Tom Brady would. The plug-and-play nature of the Patriots' attack should facilitate an easy transition in the slot from Edelman to Danny Amendola or one of New England's 63 pass-catching running backs.
Chris Hogan, new acquisition Brandin Cooks and the Patriots' tight ends should be the greatest beneficiaries of Edelman's absence. Hogan and Cooks are suddenly New England's go-to receivers and will be expected to replace, in tandem, Edelman's nearly 100 receptions from last season. Gronkowski and former Colts tight end Dwayne Allen should see increased targets on third-down conversions.
Edelman's absence will change how New England attacks the season and opposing defenses, but as long as No. 12 is under center, dreams of Super Bowl glory should not and will not be abandoned.
